Written alongside friend and frequent collaborator Bernie Taupin, who had composed all of the lyrics on Goodbye Yellow BrickRoad, with John taking credit as the composer, the song paints a slightly futuristic picture of a fictional glam rock band called “Bennie and the Jets” that’s made up of androids, with a beautiful androgynous woman as their frontperson.
“Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet? / Ooh, but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets / Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful / Oh Bennie she's really keen / She's got electric boots, a mohair suit / You know I read it in a magazine, ohh-oh / B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets,” John sings throughout the chorus of the song, showcasing his signature vocals and high falsetto.
The Album
With its appearance on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, “Bennie and the Jets” played a role in the album’s commercial success as it went on to sell more than 20 million copies worldwide. Along with “Bennie and the Jets,” the 18-track collection includes singles, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” and “Candle in the Wind.”
